Beauty and the GEEK -- Chapter 31

CHAPTER 29: Twist

BERNARD'S POV

"Benard gumising ka na. Tanghali na, nagkapaghanda nako ng umagahan. At naghihintay si Luis sa baba." sabi ni Manang habang tinatapik ako sa balikat.

"Okay okay. Sige na. Baba ka na manang susunod nako." I answered while I'm stretching my arms.

Damn.  Ilang ulit ko ng napapanaginipan yung birthday kong yon  8 months ago. The day when I last saw Iska.

After that FAILED CONFESSION, nauna na daw umuwi si Iska. Pag uwi naman namin wala na siya.  Lahat ng gamit niya wala na din. I was so sorry for Iska. I admit, mali yung ginawa ko, mali yung sinabi ko. Gusto ko mang bawiin lahat, kaso wala na siya eh. Hindi man lang niya ako binigyan ng isa pang pagkakataon. But, I can't blame her to that, I know how much I hurt her. Gusto ko man siyang puntahan sa kanila, pero I don't even know her location. Geez. -____-

Si Jeighn? Wala. Pinaalis ko na. She's not worth my love, my trust and my MONEY. Yeah, I know from the start na pineperahan niya lang ako. Nag hire ako ng private investigator for background information. I mean, hindi ko na nga siya binigyan ng "EXAM" so I need to check her background instead. Kahit siguro malaki yung tiwala ko sakanya, I know madaming nangyari sa nakalipas na taon niya. 

Si Brandon naman, Nasa Manila na, pinamamahalaan ang Business ng family nila. Finally, nagising din siya. He has learned his lesson. To be a responsible man. No, I'm not angry with him. He explained all things happened. And, napatunayan kong si Jeighn talaga ang humahabol sakanya. I mean, nagbibigay ng incentive motives. P*ta, tama na. Ayoko ng mag isip ng nakaraan. Masyado lang akong nalulungkot.

Tumayo na ako, dumaretso sa banyo nagtoothbrush. After that bumaba na ako.

"Iho. COme here. May pag uusapan tayo." Sabi ni Daddy. Well okay, tungkol sa business for sure.

"What is it?" I answered looking directly at his eyes. I was reading his mind.

"Can you do me a favor?"

"Ano nga yon Dad? Spill it. Wag na tayong magpaligoy ligoy pa." I answered irritately. 

"Gusto kong makipagmabutihan ka sa anak ng Ninong Alex mo."Dad explained. Anak? Sinong anak?

"Anak? May anak ba si Tito Alex? I thought his daughter was missing?"I asked confusely.

"Exactly. She was already found."

I nodded. 

"So you agree?" he asked.

"Bakit ko gagawin yon Dad?"

"Because of the business. Wag kang mag tanga tangahan Bernard. Alex's company was 10 times bigger than ours. So kapag nagkasundo kayo, there's a possiblity that our company would be merged. And we could have a chance to hold the superior! You want me to be proud of you right? And I'm sure you won't betrayed me." he then gave a smile. An evil smile.

"Okay." yun na lang yung naisagot ko. Wala naman akong magagawa. Minsan lang humingi ng pabor sakin si Daddy, hindi naman siguro masama tong gagawin ko. And besides, kukunin ko lang naman yung loob eh.. paiibigin at paaamuhin. Hindi kailangan ng kasal, right?

"Later, 7 o'clock. A dinner meeting with your Ninong Alex family and yes, with her daughter. Kaya galingan mo. Okay, son?" he then tapped me on shoulder.

"Alright." it may be a piece of cake for me. Haaay. I so wish.

I wear a formal one, a pink long sleeves with a tuxedo.I also shaved my beard. Hndi ako nagpapapogi ah? Though I have a mission to get her feelings.

It's already 6pm. God. Bakit ba ako kinakabahan? Dinner meeting lang naman yon? A siguro gawa dun sa ininom kong kape kanina. My hands are perspiring at medyo nanginginig pa. Ano ba naman  to. It's just so not normal. Damn.

Pumunta ako sa kusina at uminom ng isang basong tubig. BERNARD! Bakit ka ba kinakabahan? Ano bang nangyayari sayo?!

"Iho, Ready ka na ba? Tara na. I don't want to be late. This evening is so brilliant." sabi ni Daddy habang pinagkikiskis ang dalawang palad.

Sumakay na kami sa Roewe SUV ni Daddy. Siya na daw ang magmamaneho kaya ako dun sa kalapit niya.

"Dad, what her features?" I asked him.

"Sino?"

"The daughter of Ninong Alex." I answered sarcasticly. Para kasing ewan. Pa-tweetums pa. Sino bang pakay namin kaya kami aalis ngayon?! Nakakairita eh!

"Ahh. She's a goddess. Very beautiful and sexy. May pagka squalor gumalaw, halatang lumaki sa hirap. Ahh, she's ver very familiar. HIndi ko lang alam kung saan ko siya nakita."he looked at me and then to the road.

Lalo akong kinabahan sa narinig ko. Familiar? Ewan ko ba. Kakaiba yung kabog ng puso ko. Parang sasabog. Wala naman akong maisip na dahilan para magkaganito. Nakakainis lang. HAAAY! >____<

After half hour nandito na kami. Bumaba na ako agad bago pa man magpark si Daddy para makalanghap ng sariwang hangin kasi parang masu-suffocate na ko sa loob. HIndi ako makahinga sa sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko.

Habang papasok kami sa loob, halos mabingi na ako. My heartbeat was abnormal. Magpapacheck up ako bukas, I think.

"Oh kumpare kamusta na!" sabi ni Ninong Alex. Nagbatian at nagyakapan sila ni Ninong. Pati na rin si Tita Melisa, his wife.

"Eto ang inaaanak mo. Ang gwapo ano?" pagmamalaki ng Dad.

"Aba'y ang gwapo nga ano? Tamang tama, parating na ang anak ko. O ayan na pala." sabay turo sa may entrance ng restaurant.

.Hindi ko alam kung anung nararamdaman ko. Magagalit? Mabibigla? Maiiyak o Magsasaya? There was a lady that's walking towards us.. wearing a red black-tube dress and red wedge. Her eyes was covered with a black eye shadow and a pouty red lips.

Hindi ako maaring magkamali. Siya nga ang babaeng yan. My heart was yearning for her name.

Pero paano nangyari to?
